A Whole Load Of Rambling About My Dolls

After their wedding, Will and Effie have returned to their cottage for a buffet lunch with their friends. Everyone is drinking a toast to the newly-weds. Will has changed out of his kilt as he doesn’t feel comfortable sitting around in it. Effie would like to change out of her dress – and she knows no-one would mind – but it seems ungrateful when Sadie spent so much time making it, so she settles for just kicking her shoes off.

Effie is having a very small amount of champagne –

But she feels extremely grateful when Rowan makes her a nice big mug of tea.

Tom thinks no-one has noticed him feeding bits of cheese to Haggis.

But Rowan misses nothing! She is about to tell him off – cheese gives Haggis terrible wind – but then remembers that Haggis is going to stay with Tom for the next couple of days, so decides to say nothing.

Effie draws Will and Rowan’s attention to Sadie and Daniel –

– it seems they are having their own private party!

Time to cut the cake

Sadie takes charge of handing the cake around while Will and Effie look at their cards. There is a beautiful card from Niamh.

Rowan is so pleased that Effie is her sister-in-law at last.

Soon everyone can see that Effie is getting a little tired so they say their goodbyes. But they will all see each other again later – everyone is going to a hotel in the nearby New Forest in the evening for a meal.

Everyone has put so much effort into making the day special that Effie feels a little guilty when she is relieved that they have all left!

But she feels so happy she wants to cry and she didn’t want to do it while evryone was there.

After the meal tonight, they will be staying in the hotel for a couple of nights. They are looking forward to spending time relaxing together.
